in that case honestly you better don't touch defaults because your changes will
most likely never get reviwed while defaults may change to better ones
no idea if dbmail implements SSLHonorCipherOrder because i have dovecot in front

ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA128-SHA:DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!SSLv2

the above list works on Apache and Dovecot leading to the following cipher order
and yes you want to perfer AES-128 because your RSA key most likely is even too
small for AES-128 which needs 3072 Bit and there are existing theoretical 
attacks
against AES-256 not affecting AES-128
